TEANECK, N.J. , Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wedding industry consultant Brian Lawrence has put together a list of top venue choices from across the nation. Lawrence, whose career spans four decades, has toured numerous sites, advising owners and managers through his wedding business website design and SEO firm. Lawrence's list spans a wide variety of locations for ceremonies and receptions as well as destination weddings. Most feature outdoor ceremony space, a "must have" on many couples' wish lists.
Occasions at Laguna Village offers waterfront weddings in Laguna Beach, CA with its oceanfront terrace. The luxurious venue provides catering, decor, entertainment, and lighting as well as elopement and destination wedding packages. Inland, Fallbrook outdoor wedding venue Los Willows Estates has a 360-degree view of foothills of North San Diego County . Couples can even make a ceremony entrance to the lakeside lawn by boat. And for those wanting an intimate destination wedding in San Diego , Temecula's Vineyard Hills Villa plays host with its secluded B&B.
Lavender Manor is a Spokane, WA outdoor wedding venue on Wild Rose Prairie where couples and guests enjoy an expansive view of Mt. Spokane . Receptions are held in a tent with clear side walls. And the majestic Rockies and scenic countryside serve as backdrop for Northern Colorado wedding venue Meadows Event Center. Ceremonies are held in the terrace gazebo with receptions in the modern venue.
Wedding barns, and venues inspired by them, can be found around the country. Lake Elsie Wedding Barn is a seasonal Fargo, ND waterfront venue with a two-story historic red brick barn, pavilion, and B&B mansion. Couples planning a barn wedding reception in Lansing, MI will find a relaxed environment in a barn-like setting, along with outdoor ceremony options, at Northfork Estate.
While barns are strong choices, industrial-chic facilities with open floor plans are also popular. Green Bay, WI wedding reception site Gather on Broadway highlights 20' wood ceilings, original steel trusses and exposed brick, providing a blank canvas for wedding design. And garden weddings are still in vogue, as evidenced by Benton Harbor, MI wedding venue Stonegate Manor. This southwest Michigan reception site lends Victorian garden touches for ceremonies and hosts both indoor and outdoor receptions.
Chicago is one of the most expensive wedding locations in the US. But nearby Lemont, IL venue The Bridge Lemont showcases a rustic-industrial vibe for chic and affordable events.

And the traditional reception hall has taken on new life with northwest Indiana wedding venue Signature Banquets in Lowell , just an hour south of Chicago . This modern facility has separate indoor ceremony and reception spaces and patios for cocktail hour.
Terraces and tipis in Texas

Country clubs provide casual elegance, amazing views, and all-inclusive pricing. Brooklake Country Club & Events, a Florham Park, NJ wedding reception site, is less than an hour from New York City .

Couples desiring elegance will find it at The Estate at Florentine Gardens, an indoor/outdoor wedding venue in Northern NJ.
